Amazon.com Review
Equipped with a locking lid and a steam cap/vent to preserve moisture, this 420-watt electric appliance produces 1 to 5 cups of cooked rice and then automatically keeps the rice fresh, moist, and warm for hours. About 30 minutes is required to cook 5 cups, with an additional 15 minutes of warming recommended for maximum fluffiness. The cooker operates simply. There's a single control to begin the cooking process, and lights signal when cooking ends and warming begins. Inside the white-plastic, cool-touch exterior, a nonstick pan readily releases cooked rice and then cleans up easily. Accompanying the cooker are a rice spatula, a spatula holder that hooks onto the cooker's side, and a plastic measuring cup. The cooker measures 9-1/2 inches wide, 8-3/4 inches high, and 12-1/2 inches deep, weighs 5-3/4 pounds, and can be lifted by handles recessed into the sides. --Fred Brack

 perfect rice...and you don't have to take out a 2nd mortgage November 25, 2008
Before buying this product I had a zojirushi for 20 yrs. I had no qualms with it but when I was redoing my kitchen the cord got lost in the fray and, being that it was 20 yrs old, I couldn't find a replacement so I decided to invest in a new one. I knew I wanted to stick with the brand but I was FLOORED when I saw how much some of them were going for! I'm sure the fancy tweeks for different types of rice are wonderful but for my needs this model works just fine.
in 20 yrs zojirushi has updated it's product so that it's easier to use and looks sleeker on your counter but the basic concept is the same. The new rice cooking bowl is much nicer than mine though....a breeze to clean up. So far I have made jasmine and brown rice perfectly and since those are the only two types of rice I routinely make I'm set. Saving upwards of a hundred bucks for this model vs the computer models is WELL worth it to me!
 Disappointed September 21, 2008
I expected better from this rice cooker and warmer. Even on the first day, rice was somewhat burned. I wanted to return the item, but I used it once and I thought I would not be able to exchange or return it. That's why I keep it. Whenever I use it, I feel not good.
 waste of money July 13, 2008
i have had it for 3 years or so---rice is never right (no matter who cooks it)....tried to adjust the measurements--still not good enough.... too sticky, messed up and turns into a film on the bottom...expected better results..

My 14-yr. old son wanted a rice cooker with rice warmer for Christmas really bad after seeing one in his Japanese friend's house. After researching, comparing, and visiting Asian stores I ordered this Zojirushi from Amazon on the 23rd with free shipping and was surprised to get it on the 27th. Wow!
A few years back I had purchased another "automatic" rice cooker that was supposed to turn off when the rice was done. I used it one time. The rice was not even al dente, it was raw when the unit turned off. I added water and pushed the on button 2-3 more times. Worst product in the world. I think it was a $40 Hamilton Beach. So I was wary of electric, "automatic" rice cookers.
This Zojirushi is a wonderful rice cooker. It is so easy to operate, even the children have made the rice. After 12 hours it is still pretty soft. We have left it on for up to 24 hours. It gets a little crispy by then (kids like it) but you could make it in the morning and when you get home just make a meat dish--chicken, pork, beef, lamb. Of course it only takes about 30 min. to cook 3 cups (enough for five people)so if you make it first and push the button you can move on to other dishes.
We LOVE it and use it just about every other day. Use the supplied measuring cup, rinse to get rid of the starch until the water runs clear, put in the steamer, add water to the measuring line, push the button. It automatically goes to "warm" once it's done. Perfect rice every time. Cleaning is a breeze too.
My son says since it was his Christmas present he is taking it with him when he goes off to college. Great for a dorm since it's electric. Maybe I should get another one for us . . . One thing--kids need to know when they serve themselves that they need to be careful when they open the lid. It's a steamer after all.
Fast, easy, perfectly cooked rice December 19, 2007

I chose this particular model due to a review in Cooks Illustrated magazine. It was one of the highest rated within its price range. Fortunately, they did a fantastic review and my expectations were perfectly set for machine. All in all, it's fantastic. I've only just recently received it and have made one batch of plain white rice. To that end, it was perfect with no learning curve. Just put in 2 cups (their cups, not measuring cups) of rice and then fill it up to "2" with water. It doesn't get any easier. First batch turned out great.
The only con that I have has nothing to do with the machine itself and was also a concern in the Cooks Illustrated review that I referenced. The manual is terrible. My paragraph above gives as much, if not more, instruction on cooking rice than the manual. There's no mention of different types of rice or anything. I'm sure that I'll just need to experiment to get the same quality end result with something like wild rice.
Other than that, it's well made and works great!
